oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When I was born, I had a hole in my heart, it was in a particular valve and was difficult to fix and was put in intensive care as a small baby only a few days old in a small box with tubes everywhere. Doctors predicted that I might die after a few days but there was a small chance of about 15 that I might survive. I survived, but was a sickly baby.
During my childhood i had to visit the hospital often. I remember when i was about 7 years old sitting on my hospital bed crying because of the many needles i had to get and the tablets they forced me to swallow. A boy, with messy brown hair piercing amber eyes came to me.
"Hey, you cry baby why you crying" He stood at the side of the bed and I lifted up my head, brushing my auburn hair behind my ears.
"The doctors and nurses gave me so many needles and i had to swallow that yucky tablets again" I sniffled and wiped the tears which were running down from my emerald eyes.
"Pshhhh, you have got to be kidding me! Once i got 100 needles in me at the same time! And I didn't even cry!" The little boy crossed his arms boastfully and thrusted his chest out.
"Right..." I looked at him not believing a single word he said.
"Look I did okay! It's the truth! But see is you don't take your medicine and let the doctors and nurses put needles in you won't get better! And i would very much would like to play with you if you got better..." The little boy blushed and looked down into his hands.
I smiled gently at him and leaned over to his ear.
"Okay I'll get better...so that i can play with you, by the way my name is Kinomoto Sakura" His ears turned bright red.
"O-o-Kay my name is Syaoran Li, you know my dad is your doctor" He stammered and looked up through his brown hair.
"Oh i see Doctor Li is you dad? He is very nice he always gives me a lollipop, but anyways i hope you will visit me often" I stuck out my hand and Syaoran took my hand and shook it.
It was the beginning of a new friendship...
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A few months later...
"Okay I'm going to count to ten!" One of the boys from the hospital turned and faced the tree and started to count to 30.
"Shhh Sakura lets go hide near the playground!" Syaoran took my hand and we ran towards the playground trying to stifle our giggles.
We went into the tube and sat there breathless waiting for the boy to come and find us. I gripped onto his hand tightly.
"Do you think he will find us here??" I peeped cautiously out from the tube to see the boy looking behind the bushes.
"Oh! Syaoran he already found Rinko!" I quickly sat back into the tube. My heart was beating fast, i haven't told Syaoran yet but i really liked him, i hope that i can be his bride in the future.
"Sakura shhh..." Syaoran edged closer towards me and in the tight space i looked at his face.
Suddenly my heart felt like it was being squeezed. My breathing became short and the pain in my heart was growing.
"Sy-y-a-oran……my heart...I can't breathe..." I grasped his arm tightly and the other gripping at the clothing on my chest.
"Oh no...NURSE!!" Syaoran got out of the tube calling for the nurse.
The tube was getting fuzzy and blurry, soon my eyes closed as i stopped breathing and collapsed into the darkness...
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Quickly take her to the emergency operating room!! NOW!" They wheeled Sakura in the bed down the hallway.
"DAD!" Syaoran ran up to his dad clasping onto his sleeve.
"Is Sakura going to be okay? You will make her better right??" Syaoran looked at his father's face searching for an answer.
"Yes she will be just fine, its just a small heart attack" Syaoran's father smiled at his son then rushed down the hallway towards the emergency operating room.
He knew his father was lying...she's not okay...she was in pain when she was holding onto his arm so tight...he sat down on the seat next to him and started to cry.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Syaoran walked down the hallway towards his father's office, he reached towards the door and heard people talking...He recognized that voice! It was Sakura's parents. He opened the door wide enough for him to hear what they were saying.
"...As i was saying, she is stable now, but i need to talk to you about Sakura's future..."
"Yes doctor?"
"Sakura is..." He heard his father blabbing on with some medical words, he wanted to understand what he was saying but couldn't.
"So what do you mean Doctor?"
"Sakura may not live until the age of 19…..if she is lucky maybe 21...depends on her health..."
Syaoran's eyes widened and heard the gasp of Sakura's mother and the sobbing.
His heart felt like ripping into two as the tears uncontrollably dripped down his face.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Syaoran! I'm bored" I sat on my hospital bed pouting as I looked at the little boy walking slowly towards his bed.
Realizing that he was upset i edged closer to him.
"Syaoran what's wrong?" I searched his face for a reason and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Sakura, promise me one thing, Promise me this..." Syaoran took my hand and looked at me with serious amber eyes.
"O-okay...what is it?"
"Promise me that we will attend middle school, high school, college and University together, and when your 21 we will get married" I looked at Syaoran, this 7 year old boy wanting me to promise him this one thing.
"Okay, that's such an easy promise!" I put out my pinky finger him to do the promise lock.
He took my pinky and we made the promise...
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
7 years later...
"SYAORAN!!" I saw Syaoran's back and ran up to him and hugged his back.
"SYAORAN SYAORAN!!" I was filled with excitement; I am now 14 years old and was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
"What are you screaming about" Syaoran pulled away from me and rubbed his ears with a scrunched up face expression.
"GUESS WHAT! I get to be discharged from the hospital, live with my family and go to school with you now! FINALLY A NORMAL LIFE!" I jumped into Syaoran's arms and squealed with delight.
"REALLY??" Syaoran also bewildered grabbed my wait and spun me around.
We both giggled and laughed as Syaoran spun me in the air.
"Better stop that Sakura, yes your being discharged but you still need to come to the hospital for a weekly check up and try and not do something that will work your heart up too much..." Doctor Li patted my shoulder as we stopped. He sighed and looked at me with a worried expression for a while, then smiled.
"Thank you for all your help Doctor Li" I told Doctor Li to bend down and i gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"WHAT! Why does my dad get to have a kiss on the cheek! You've never given me a kiss..." Syaoran pouted angrily and looked away.
Doctor Li and me exchanged looks and bursted out laughing.
"Its not funny!" Syaoran stormed away. I bowed and gave my thanks to Doctor Li again and ran after Syaoran.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"SAKURA!!" a girl with dark black hair ran towards me and before I could figure out who it was i was engulfed by the girl's arms. She pulled back and looked at me. The person was none other than my cousin Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo! Hey! I'm back at school" I smiled and Tomoyo's eyes brimmed with tears.
"I never knew that i would be able to witness my cute little Sakura in a cute middle school uniform...it truly is a wonderful sight that i must capture" Tomoyo sighed dramatically and turned on her camera and started to video tape me with her camera.
"Eh! No don't do that Tomoyo, it's embarrassing" I tried to cover my face up with my hands and waving her off. But Tomoyo urged on.
I laughed and squealed as she forced the camera on me. It was fun, I'm so glad that I'm better now, I shall work hard to become better, and to stay by Syaoran's side forever….
